Sighting Details

Around 7:30 on Monday evening, August 25th, 2014, I was in my backyard playing with my daughter. I glanced up and saw an object speeding just over Dictionary Hill, northeast of my home. It was approaching at about the top speed of a helicopter (which we see all the time). It had an odd shape and it turned, and it was silent. I realized that this wasn't a helicopter and got out my camera to shoot video. The object slowed and seemed to hover high over the shopping center east of my home. It rotated as though filming something. After about 10 minutes, the object was gone (no sign of departure). The object resembled an oil drum, a rusty, dingy gray color. It was tilted at an angle (maybe 30 degree or so) and its bottom was a pure bluish white light, like a halogen lamp in color. It had no wings, rotors, balloon, nor visible engine, so I don't think it was a drone (unless we have antigrav for them). At one point while I was filming a commercial jet flew by.
